What are football goal posts made of

Basic Info
Football door frames are now mostly made of circular steel pipes. The goalposts and crossbeams must be made of wood, metal, or other materials recognized by FIFA, and their cross-sections can be square, rectangular, circular, or elliptical. The goalposts and crossbeams shall not be made of other soft materials or have other cross-sectional shapes. The goalpost must be white. In formal football matches, a net must be installed behind the goal to determine if the ball has been scored.
In the 1980s and 1990s, soccer goals in many countries were made of rectangular wood, which were easily deformed or damaged due to the fear of wind, rain and sunshine. Nowadays, society is developing very fast, and soccer goals follow the social trend, and they are also all made of round steel, which is weather-resistant, very beautiful, and durable, which is very good.
Recently a fan asked: “I often hit the goal post when I play soccer, am I a good shot or a poor shot?”
At that time, I saw the answer, and then thought carefully, in fact, it is quite good to say, because I often watch the West and the Premier League, often see the top strikers because they hit the goalposts and lose the ball, and the heart is very regrettable, and even sometimes obviously sad, obviously easy to score, but kicked out of the flaws, the fans will say that this technology is also too poor, want to score can also be scored! Let's talk about this in detail.

There are two main points to this problem: 1. Often. 2. Shoot.
Shooting, understood as the technique of shooting, is one of the essential professional football skills for professional players! It is a skill highly respected by amateur players. Because of your excellent shooting skills, you can easily stand out and become the focus of the game.
Is there a direct connection between shooting technique and goal scoring? The answer is affirmative. If you have good shooting skills, your chances of scoring are greater. However, there are many factors that affect the shooting process from the initiation of the shot to the goal, such as the opponent's defensive team, goalkeeper, the environment of the field, weather (wind and rain, etc.), the humidity of the grass, the speed of the football and other external factors, the player's current state, fatigue level, and judgment of consciousness. After combining the external factors and their own factors, the players will make a judgment: what angle to kick the ball, what way to kick the ball (inside or outside the instep, etc.), how much force to use (the time may be short, which is the reaction of the players' body muscles), then adjust the shooting position, swing the legs, hit the ball, and complete the final shooting action!
In fact, just like a sniper, you need to analyze a series of factors that may affect the shooting results, such as environment, humidity, wind speed, and specialized observers to assist you in aiming in order to complete the shooting. So why are snipers so accurate? The answer is obvious. Generally, snipers shoot statically with high accuracy. If they switch to mobile shooting, the accuracy will definitely decrease, even significantly.

Football players are no exception. Modern professional players, especially top European players, have very high static shooting skills, about 20 meters away. They can shoot wherever they want, which should not be an exaggeration. I remember Zhejiang TV once invited Kaka and Owen to do contact shooting, which was visually near the penalty spot, about 10 meters away, and kicked into the tire without making any mistakes. This should be for the sake of program effect, as the distance is relatively close. I also watched a video of Beckham, who is about 40 meters tall, playing football into the basket, with a diameter of less than 1 meter. At that time, the internet was not yet as developed, and now I can't find that video. It can also be understood as a static shot (a football in a stationary state) with a distance of 20 meters, a target diameter of 50 centimeters, a distance of 30 meters, and a target diameter of 1 meter. Most top players can achieve this, and the error rate is not particularly high!
Everyone knows that football is a high-intensity game nowadays. 90 minutes of a game may seem like a long time, but in fact, each team doesn't have many shooting opportunities, maybe more than 10 times or less. There aren't many shooting opportunities, so players should cherish every opportunity and do their best to shoot the ball into the goal. Goal! But before shooting, we often encounter the opposing goalkeeper in the last line of defense. Few people can pass the goalkeeper like Cristiano Ronaldo and then hit an empty goal. In general, there are several shooting choices made when facing goalkeepers and defenders:
1. The opponent's goalkeeper or defender is in a surprising position, creating a time difference when the opponent cannot react in time. For example, groin penetration, spoon shaped penalty kicks, and striking the far corner with obvious near corners.
2. Chase the angle and choose to stay away from the blind spot of the defender. No matter how the opposing goalkeeper and defender save, they will never reach their position!

When shooting vigorously, do not consider the angle, only consider the speed, just shoot directly! I bet the goalkeeper won't have time to react. When Cristiano Ronaldo breaks through the sideline and shoots from a small angle, he often uses this move. The goalkeeper reacts too quickly and watches the ball fly by helplessly, feeling helpless.
4. Hasty shooting, unable to adjust in a timely manner, or having already made a judgment, due to the interference of defensive players, the body is unable to complete the shot according to the judgment.
Only four are beyond the control of the players, with a certain element of luck and a natural reaction of the players' bodies. It's a matter of probability whether this kick will hit the goalpost or not.
The other 123 were intentionally done by players, often requiring too much angle and foot control to hit the goalpost. The reason for hitting the goalpost is that during the movement, the foot may protrude and it may be moving at high speed. Football is also moving at the same time, which can cause deviations and displacements that are difficult to control accurately. Sometimes it can be 1-2 meters or 10 centimeters away. In order to cherish the opportunity, players often choose tricky angles and approach the goalpost and crossbar. At this point, the deviation is likely to hit the goalpost or crossbar!

For example, Portugal vs Holland in the group stage of Euro 2012, that game, Crowe took 12 penalties, 2 goals, 2 goals! Also in the 12-13 season, Messi punished 34 free kicks, 7 goals, 5 goals! Looking at all the free kick masters, almost 80% of the shots choose the two blind corners of the goal! Visible the more high-level players, the higher the demand for their own, shooting angle is more tricky, then we look at the game to see the situation in the column, accustomed to, can only sigh their own luck a little bad, so accidentally point in! I hope that next time the ball player to adjust to their more comfortable and better position, shooting more accurate. To summarize, a good shooter, not only need accurate shooting skills, but also need to be flexible and strong body, excellent explosive force and speed, movement and awareness, grasp the big picture of the calm mind, carved sense of the ball. The most important thing is to constantly improve, if you often hit the goalposts, you will surely summarize the experience after the game, and through constant practice, turn this kind of shooting into your natural muscle reaction, so that you may increase your shooting success rate by one point!
That's why it must take a certain amount of skill to hit the post often! On the contrary, you can try yourself, not to mention 20 meters away, even if we aim a kick from 10 meters away, may not hit the goal post.
